Carson Talks Border Security, Spending

He was speaking in Tennessee.

Speak­ing in Frank­lin, TN, re­tired neurosur­geon Ben Car­son (R) drew more than 240 sup­port­ers and donors at an event that Rep. Mar­sha Black­burn (R-TN) also at­ten­ded.

“Car­son’s half-hour speech star­ted off cas­u­ally with a sprink­ling of jokes but then fo­cused on ser­i­ous mat­ters such as pro­tect­ing the na­tion’s bor­der and rein­ing in spend­ing. … Car­son also touched on strength­en­ing the elec­tric­al grid and cy­ber­se­cur­ity cap­ab­il­it­ies.” (Nashville Ten­nessean)
